2016 Audi A4 1.4L Petrol · WL65 FEO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following the most recent test on 29 January 2026 at 77,005 miles. This latest inspection passed with no advisories, noting only the presence of the engine cover and under trays. This follows a clean pass in January 2025 at 69,232 miles. While the vehicle has experienced several failures and advisories in previous years, the recent history suggests that previous mechanical issues have been addressed and the current maintenance trend is improving. The mileage accumulation is consistent with a typical ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 7,700 miles per year. The record shows steady usage, moving from 19,158 miles in early 2019 to 77,005 miles by early 2026. There are no significant gaps in the MOT history that would suggest long periods of inactivity, which helps mitigate concerns regarding seized components or perished rubber seals often found in low-use vehicles. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems due to recurring patterns in the historical data. The February 2024 test at 62,293 miles flagged worn rear upper arm inner bushes on both sides and worn brake discs. Although these were cleared for the subsequent pass, the recurrence of suspension bush wear and thinning brake pads across multiple years—notably in 2019, 2022, 2023, and 2024—indicates these are high-wear areas for this specific car. Tyre maintenance also shows a history of neglect, with multiple failures and advisories regarding tread depth and perishing rubber between 2019 and 2024. While the most recent tests show no tyre issues, a thorough check of the current tread depth and sidewall integrity is necessary. The inspector should also verify that the suspension bushes and brake discs mentioned in the 2024 report have been replaced with quality components rather than simply being monitored.
